New AI Agent to Translate Your Skill Catalogs

Using a new agent called Skills Library Translation, you can now translate the skills in any of your custom skills libraries to any language supported by the Oracle HCM application. This agent uses an external translation provider to translate the skills present in your skills catalog.

The prerequisite for running this agent is to configure Google Translation as the external translation provider.

Here’s how you set up this agent to translate skills:

  1. On the My Client Groups > Learning and Development page, click Skills Library Translation. You can also use the My Client Groups > Talent > HCM Agents task.
  2. From the Add menu, select Skills Library Translation.
  3. Enter a description and name for this process.
  4. From Skill Item Catalog, select the skill catalog that you want to translate.

Note: The Oracle Dynamic Skills Seed Library is not available for translation.

  1. Select the Google translation provider and the account name that you have configured for it.
  2. Select one or more languages that you want to translate skills to.

Note: The languages available for selection depend on the language packs installed in the Oracle HCM application.

  1. Click Apply.

Configuring the Skills Library Translation Agent

Configuring the Skills Library Translation Agent

  1. On the Learning and Development Agents page, select the process and click Run Agent.
  2. When the process completes, click Download and Update. This downloads a Microsoft Excel workbook where you can review the translations and make changes as necessary.

Note: Before you can review the Excel workbook, you need to download and install the Desktop Integration Installer tool from Navigator > Tools.

In the Microsoft Excel workbook, you’ll see that the skill title, description, and short description are translated. If the skills already have existing translations, you’ll see the old translation and the new suggested translation in the Before and Proposed columns.
